Video: The Affordable Care Act is looking pretty darned unafforable
We're going to be saving so much money that our bank accounts will virtually disappear!
Yea!

Where I give you my slightly quirky opinion, and you can give me yours, as long as you're man or woman enough to be civil and control your language.

About Me
- Joe
- I was born in Miami, Florida, the son of an Air Force officer, traveled the world, was saved at age 17, and have served the Lord since. That's me on the left and my lovely wife, Bonnie...the pretty one...on the right.
There Are But A Few Rules To Follow
1. Absolutely no foul language (including the use of asterisks). If you are not man or woman enough to control your language, you are not welcome here...go somewhere else.
2. I am not looking for strings of commenters arguing with each other, so confine your comments to the topic at hand and address your comments to me, unless you can be exceptionally gracious and polite.
3. Since this is my blog, I am the sole arbiter of what can be placed on this blog. My decisions are final and without recourse. All anonymous comments, unsigned, will be deleted, as will ad hominem attacks against me or others.
4. Within the scope of those rules, you may feel free to have fun here (I sure will). Sarcasm, wit, half-wit, nit-wit, parody, satire, puns (especially puns), etc. are encouraged.
FOUR PRINCIPLES THAT DEFINE TRUE CONSERVATISM:
1. Respect for The Constitution
2. Respect for Life
3. The Smallest Possible Government
4. Individual Responsibility
This blog is about my philosophy of government, which is a very conservative philosophy.
You are not required to agree with me (although you would be better off if you did).
I am biased toward conservatism, and make no apologies for that.
Freedom means not being controlled by the government, that being the very reason we declared our independence from Great Britain.

Government's job is not to provide things for people, but to provide the opportunity for people to persue the things they want via the vehicles of freedom and responsibility.

BHO-THE CONSUMATE AMATEUR
WHY I CALL HIM "PRESIDENT BO"
I call him "President" out of respect for the office. I call him "BO" (as in Body Odor) because his agenda stinks.
I also refer to him as our "Acting President."

The Affordable Care Act won't have any impact on you, Joe.
You are on Medicare and you can stay on Medicare.
Xavier... that is government subsidized medicare... unless Joe, as a pastor, opted out when he had the chance...
XO: I paid for it. I would be irate if I didn't get what the government promised I would get.
DM: Never been a pastor. Never opted out.
Liberal theological snobs think the only legitimate ministry in the church is to be a pastor of some sort. I've been a minister of music, minister of education and minister of youth. I've never been a pastor.
Well Joe, one of the issues with the ACA is that it has no mechanism to restrain costs.
So for profit insurers monopoly has no reason not to raise premiums.
There is a concern that competition from the exchanges will set us on the path to single payer but that's a future battle that you won't join.
Meanwhile we'll have to listen to right wing bullet heads complain that it's the ACA that is raising premiums.
By the way, Numb Chucks, my wife has no insurance, government or otherwise. Now she will be forced to buy insurance. So much for liberty and freedom. Our costs will rise by thousands of dollars per year! I don't think I like the government forcing that upon us.
Golly forbid anything happens to Bonnie. A serious illness or injury. It will wipe you out. then, when you're tapped out, those of us responsible enough to have insurance get the bill.
Fine if you want to gamble with your solvency by not being insured but I'm tired of bailing out you freeloaders. We are already paying for the uninsured at inflated prices.
Take responsibility for yourselves. I'll bet you have no idea what options are available to you because you're so convinced the ACA is a commie plot, you won't even look. You might be eligible for a subsidy.
Unless you have enough socked away to cover a catastrophic injury or illness, don't talk to me about your liberty and freedom when I'm bailing you out. What you want is freedom from responsibility.
Joe - "...my wife has no insurance, government or otherwise. Now she will be forced to buy insurance. So much for liberty and freedom. Our costs will rise by thousands of dollars per year! I don't think I like the government forcing that upon us."
What are you talking about?? How old is your wife? If she is 62-65 she is eligible for Social Security and Medicare.
If she is younger than that, you GO you cradle robbing dog!
But seriously, how does she not have insurance?
You are the husband, the head of the household. How do you not provide health insurance for your wife?
Joe - "Now she will be forced to buy insurance. So much for liberty and freedom. Our costs will rise by thousands of dollars per year! I don't think I like the government forcing that upon us."
I'm don't think I like you and Bonnie living your lives under the assumption that if Bonnie has some catastrophic illness that me and Ducky will pick up the tab while also listening to your complaints and whines about the American government that requires us to care for you.
Thinking you should acknowledge your dependence upon the taxpayers and thank us Liberals for keeping you and yours alive.
XO: "What are you talking about?? How old is your wife? If she is 62-65 she is eligible for Social Security and Medicare.
If she is younger than that, you GO you cradle robbing dog!"
See? There you go...unable to draw a correct conclusion from a set of facts.
Joe, are you glad your wife doesn't have coverage?
Talk about rolling the dice.
But as XO says, others will cover it. You'll be the first to tap Medicaid and curse the government for providing treatment.
The right wing world is certainly a strange place.
Ducky: My wife does not have coverage and no one else pays for her medical bills, whether minor or catastrophic.
How can this be? The liberal mind is not capable of figuring it out, are you?
